Lewis Hamilton arrives for his Hungarian GP press conference in style and Twitter can’t handle the suave

Hamilton, on his scooter, is a common sight for many on the track. The scooter is Hamilton’s preferred mode of transport to cover the ground on track from one press conference to the next. And in a bizarre incident, Hamilton had even faced backlash for it once.

However, the scooter incident we’re talking about was one of utmost suave and style as the Mercedes man jumped onto a deck. The world champion casually showcased his parkour skills as he hopped onto the deck and Twitter paid attention.

Hamilton reacts to Toto Wolff’s retirement comments

Well before the seven-time world champion showcased the potential of the longevity of his F1 career, Toto Wolff, the Mercedes boss, made his prediction. After Hamilton’s 300th race, the Austrian commented on the Brit’s contract that expires in 2023.

He said, “We talked a few weeks ago about how long a partnership can go and the figure discussed was about five to 10 years, so I think we can go to 400 [races].”

We’re not sure about the seriousness of Wolff’s comments, but the word obviously reached Hamilton’s ear. The seven-time champion reacted with a simple: “That’s a lot of races!” followed by the most natural reaction to the comment.

Lewis Hamilton still has a year left on his contract, but there is little to no evidence that we will see the Briton hanging up his helmet soon.
